Abstract

Using data obtained from ¹H-¹H correlated spectroscopy and one- and two-dimensional NOE measurements, we have determined the preferential solution conformation of the disaccharide unit Galβ(1-3)Gal-NAc in the antifreeze glycopeptide (Galß(l-3)GalNAcαl-Thr-Ala-Ala)_n derived from the blood of the antarctic fish Trematomas borchgrevinki. The disaccharide, which is a rigid unit, exists with a restricted orientation about the GalNAc-αl-Thr linkage. Preliminary evidence indicates that the backbone (Ala-Ala-Thr)_n lies in an extended helical conformation. Antifreeze glycopeptide¹H NMR Glycosidic linkage Dissaccharide structure Nuclear Overhauser effect.
